To get the analogy of whether the ratios are same we will proceed as follows;
Ratios are used to show the number of times one value contained by another value in quantitative sense. In simple terms it shows how many times the first number contains the second number.
Ratios can be expressed as fractions:
2:3=2/3
3:2=3/2
from the two fractions we deduce that 2/3 ≠ 3/2. Hence we conclude that the two ratios are not the same.
